Searching for Chocolate Nutmeg Cake Recipe...

New request:

"Years ago I got a recipe from a magazine – Good Housekeepng or Better Homes and Gardens perhaps – for a square chocolate nutmeg cake frosted with chocolate butter cream frosting and then using marzipan – making “ribbons” and a bow from marzipan to make the square cake look like a package with ribbons. I have lost the recipe and was wondering if anyone still had it. Thank you for any assistance, Marcy"

Bean Pie
Mei is looking for "an authentic and reliable Bean Pie recipe that someone has used for years."

Caraway Cookie/Cake
Ellen is searching for "a recipe for these bakery treats. Last time we recall tasting them was in the 1950s in the Brooklyn, Queens area of New York. These “cakes” were really hard, flat cookie bars (very crunchy) that contained caraway seeds. They weren’t very sweet but were a delicious accompaniment to coffee. Can you help me find a source to buy them or a recipe to make them? I would love to surprise my family with these for the holidays this year!"

Please let me know if you have either of these recipes and post them in the comments section for this blog.
